So, scientists at CERN believe they have found the Higgs boson exists. This is really big news because with the Higgs boson confirmed, models which rely on it to determine why and how other particles have mass are also confirmed. It is the culmination of 50+ years and untold billions of dollars in research. […]

One possible signature of a Higgs boson from a simulated proton-proton collision. It decays almost immediately into two jets of hadrons and two electrons, visible as lines. The proton beams would enter the picture from the east-southeast and west-northwest. Image from Wiki
